  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

  • Aachen Cathedral
    Aachen, Germany Marian Shrines Aachen Cathedral Aachen cathedral is the oldest cathedral of northern Europe. The oldest part, the octagon, beeing the palace chapel of Charles-the-Great was built about 790-800 AD in the Carolingian style. The church has been consecrated in honour of the Virgin Mary. Main attraction for pilgrims was the Miraculous Madonna “Our Lady Mary Emperor of Aachen” [6]. The statue now is positioned in the octagon right of the altar. In a private revelation of a soul in the region of Aachen end of the 20th Century, the following prayer was given together with a promise of Jesus. The prayer itself has the authorization of the past as well as the present Bishop of Aachen [10]: Ave Maria, Empress, Help of Christians pray for the Diocese consecrated you, especially for the bishop, all Priests and devotees and especially for a Christian Europe. Jesus' promise to the prayer "Ave Maria, Empress, Help of Christians!": "This prayer is precious. The more it is prayed, the more will shine my light on Aachen and Europe. This prayer is like a golden key that opens my and my mother’s heart and from there the rays of My grace and Her agency can come freely to you. The more and more this prayer is prayed, the more the darkness of Europe loses ground! And that because Aachen is and remains the intellectual point, from where I will renew the world in me. And by my mother, the help of the entire Christendom, yes indeed by the heavenly empress of the world! Pray this prayer and let it all pray as often as possible! World and Church need this prayer from Aachen, the key to the light! " The Aachen cathedral also is often called the “Imperial Cathedral” (in German: Kaiserdom).

  • From Tintagel to Aachen: Richard of Cornwall and the Power of Place
    1 From Tintagel to Aachen: Richard of Cornwall and the Power of Place David Rollason University ofDurham r: The theme of this volume is legendary rulers, and its principal subjects are the great Frankish emperor Charlemagne (768-814), whose life and reign gave rise to many legends, and the British king Arthur, who may have had a shadowy existence in the post-Roman period but who came to prominence through the legends which developed around him.l This paper examines, through the career of Richard of Cornwall (1209-72) which touched on th~m both, the way in which legends about these rulers contributed to the power of place at two very different sites, Tintagel in Cornwall and Aachen in Germany. Richard, who was the second son of King John of England and younger brother of King Henry III, was made earl of Cornwall in 1227, elected king of Germany, 'king of the Romans' that is, in January 1257, and crowned as such in May 1257. He was a very wealthy and politically active figure, deeply involved in the struggles between the king of England and his barons, as well as a crusader and an active participant in Continental affairs.' In May 1233, that is in the early part of his career as Earl of Cornwall, Richard purchased the 'island' of Tintagel, a promontory rather than a real island, on the Cornish coast.' The fact that the purchase included the 'castle of Richard' could be seen to support a previously-held theory that a castle had already been built on the promontory in the twelfth century; but archaeological and architectural evidence from
